Show Decorator:
As an exhibitor, you will automatically receive an introduction email in the next few weeks from our official show decorator, Fern Expo, with instructions on creating your password in the team based platform for exhibitor ordering and information, OneView. After you’ve logged on and created an account, you will be able to order services from Fern as well as information and services provided by other vendors. Once you have created your password, you will be able to access the Fern exhibitor portal by going to fernoneview.com.
Please email Fern Exhibitor Services at exhibitorservices@fernexpo.com should you have any questions or if you need to have the introduction email and instructions for online ordering re-sent to you.
